The X server tries to load the DRM with modprobe when it's not loaded yet, what happens when you try modprobe radeon? > (EE) RADEON(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument This is harmless. > The directory /dev/dri exists, but there is no card0 device in there. > How can I create it? You don't have to, the X server creates them as needed. 'No such device' means the driver for a device (i.e. the DRM in this case) isn't present. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
